Hmmm, I see a little Domiplan-hate creeping in here...
Originally posted by maltfalc every lens has some fault that will lead to me selling it as soon as i find a better one.
Perfection: A goal that may never be obtained, but the quest is fun, eh?
Originally posted by mlatour RioRico, actually the K-x (K-r's too) can do in-camera corrections with DA lenses.
Oops. If I'd had a Kx, I might have known that.
Originally posted by mlatour plus the general handling/lens creep just doesn't feel comfortable to me.
The vast majority (9 or 10 of 11) of my one-touch zooms creep. It comes with the plumbing, as they say in the urology biz. The trade-off vs non-creeping 2- or 3-touch zooms is MF convenience. Anyway, I've just trained myself not to be bothered. Still, the only one-touch that I'd put on a tripod and aim at a vertical angle would be my newly-received Vivitar-Komine Series 1 Version 3 70-210/2.8-4. *IT* won't creep!
Originally posted by interested_observer Its a M42 lens and that in and of itself is not the problem, it is when the lens comes off. I need to extract the M42 adapter in the dark - without getting my grubby fingerprints on the mirror.
That's why I tighten cheap clone M42-PK adapters onto my screwmount lenses, so I don't have to diddle with the adapter in-camera.
